PEER TUTOR APPLICATION
Success/Tutorial Center
Dear Peer Tutor Applicant:
Thank you for your interest in working with the Success/Tutorial Center at West Valley College
(WVC). The college invests in Peer Tutors as valued members of the department(s) they serve, for
many go on to become credentialed teachers at all levels of education. Additionally, we aim to
“support students along their pathways to reach […] career goals,” and we believe strongly that
tutoring skills are relevant to a variety of careers, not just teaching—by becoming a tutor, students
strengthen on-the-job skills, build a resume, and gain early entry into a potential career path.
Please remember that successful completion of Interdisciplinary Studies 40 (ISTU40):
Tutor Training is required before someone can submit an application. However, there is
no guarantee that you will be hired after passing ISTU40. To apply for a Peer Tutor position, please
submit this application (including the indicated attachments) and arrange for a WVC instructor to
complete your Faculty Recommendation Form(s); if you wish to tutor in a variety of subjects, a
separate referral will be needed from an instructor in each discipline.
Peer Tutors at West Valley currently earn $12.75/hour for their first semester, and get regular pay
increases in Fall and Spring that top out at $15.75/hour by the sixth semester of employment.
In order to apply to become a WC Peer Tutor, you must:
Have earned a “B” or better in all subjects you wish to tutor
1. Have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better
2. Submit a Faculty Recommendation Form from a WVC instructor for every subject covered
3. Pass ISTU40: Tutor Training (0.5 unit)
4. Speak, write, and understand English fluently and clearly
5. Limit WVC work hours to 18 hours/week or less, no matter the number of positions/departments
6. Be eligible to work on campus
7. Register for a minimum of 6 units at WVC in any semester that you are employed as a Peer Tutor
(with some exceptions for summer).
If you meet all the requirements above and are passionate about helping others, please complete an
application form, including attachments, and submit it in person to the Success/Tutorial Center or via
email. If you have any questions, feel free to consult Jen Wagner at jennifer.wagner@westvalley.edu or
(408) 741-2615. After submitting your application, you are welcome to inquire about your status,
thought I typically get back to people within a week or two of submission.
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Peer Tutor at West Valley College.
Sincerely,
Jen Wagner
Success/Tutorial Center Coordinator
